I have a usb samson g-track mic When i plugged it in on the computer, the drivers downloaded automatically and it worked but since that first time, now when i try and plug it in it the mic doesnt pick up any sound. Ive tried it with other usb ports and they worked first time until after i unplugged it and now it doesnt pick up sound anymore. is this a driver issue and if so, what do i need to do?

If the LED doesn't light when you plug it in, and it doesn't show up in Device Manager ("USB Composite Device" or "USB Audio Device"), then the mic must be defective. Contact Samson for a replacement.

It's supposed to only record on the left side. When it's in "INST/MIC" mode the left channel has your mic on it and the right channel has your instrument, so you can mix them separately. Just configure your recording software to put the left channel on one track and the right channel on another track.

The mic is on the left side. That's how it's supposed to work. You should set your recording software to only record the left channel on one track and the right channel on another track.

The level controls are the knobs on the front.

sounds like your recording volume is too high, and its "clipping"
